Lonely Planet review

Plovdiv's fascinating Ethnographical Museum houses some 40,000 exhibits, including folk costumes and musical instruments, jewellery and traditional crafts, like weaving, metalworking, winemaking and beekeeping. Traditional tools ranging from grape-crushers and wine-measures to apparatuses used for distilling attar of roses are also displayed. Upstairs, the restored 19th-century rooms have nice touches like carved wooden ceilings. The most renowned Bulgarian National Revival-period home in Plovdiv, it was built in 1847 and owned by the eminent Agir Koyoumdjioglou, later becoming a girls' boarding school and a tobacco and flour warehouse.
